Picture Day Reminder Dress for Recess PTO News Halloween Parade Update Mark Your Calendars HES Announcements   Dear HES Families, Please take a look at the following announcements.  Have a great day! Picture Day Reminder Our picture day is scheduled for Wednesday, October 20th.  Remember to use the same picture envelopes that you received earlier in the year.  Envelopes should be brought to school on picture day.  Dress for Recess As the temperatures begin to dip below 50 degrees, please remember to send your child to school with a jacket so that they can participate in recess. We send students out to play as long as the temperature stays above 20 degrees (factoring in windchill). Of course, hats, mittens, gloves, etc. are advisable once we get down below 40 degrees.  We appreciate your cooperation. PTO News HES Hoe Down & Cow Patty Bingo Rescheduled Due to the inclement weather today, we have rescheduled the Hoe Down.  Please join us on Friday, October 22nd for the HES Hoe Down & Cow Patty Bingo.  GoodSearch  What if Haddam Elementary School earned a donation every time you searched the Internet?
